Is America's best restroom in Baton Rouge?

BY MATTHEW ALBRIGHT | Staff writer​ ​ ​

Are the restrooms at Juban's restaurant the best in the country? It's an actual competition, and the restaurant wants your vote.

That's just one of the most interesting tidbits in our weekly Bon Vivant feature, which keys you in to the most interesting food and beverage news in Baton Rouge. 

Also, check out this list of the best places to get "mocktails," if you're in the mood for a cocktail but not in the mood for booze. 


The fight over growth in Livingston Parish is heating up. So many people are moving there that a growing number of residents are anxious about overcrowded schools and traffic gridlock, among other problems.

The parish council recently passed a yearlong ban on new developments, saying it was necessary to get better zoning rules in place. But the parish president vetoed it, saying it was unlikely to survive in the courts. 

Now some council members say they're going to try to override his veto. 


What's that big building going up at Airline and Coursey?  And what about that thing being built at Florida and Wooddale? 

Those are just a couple of new projects our business team is tracking. Here's all the latest.
